The proofe from Gods word.

Wee ascribe that vnto our King by this assertion, which is giuen to euerie King, or Queene in their owne dominions by the word of God. For

They are for titles, gratious Lords a 1.1, Princes b 1.2, the ministers of God c 1.3, the Nourses of the Church d 1.4, Gods e 1.5; For authori∣tie the chiefe f 1.6. Which mooueth S. Paule to exhort that sup∣plications be made for all men, but first for Kinges, as the chiefe g 1.7.

Aaron the high preist, called Moses, the chiefe Prince, his Lord i 1.9, so did Abimelech, tearme Saul his Lord k 1.10.

K. Iehosaphat, as cheife in Iudah, appointed Iudges, Leuites,, and priests l 1.11

K. Ezekias there also as chiefe, sent vnto all Israell, and Iu∣dah, that they should come to the house of the Lord at Ierusa∣lem, to keepe the Passeouer m 1.12, also, he appointed the course of Priests, and Levites by their turnes n 1.13, and commanded all the priests to offer sacrifice, &c. and they obeied him o 1.14, and enioy∣ned all the congregation to bring offerings, and they brought them p 1.15.

Which wee doe vnto ours, the very same doe the churches of God ascribe vnto Christian magistrates in their principali∣ties.
